Information
One of the first commercial airliners in circulation, the Handley Page H.P 42 was taking passenger flights on a regular basis at the beginning of air travel in 1931 for Imperial Airways. The attractive design provided a quiet cabin for air travelers that included two separate passenger cabins. It was considered one of the safest aircrafts as it went without any serious incident in the decade it flew. Logging over a million miles in the air, Heracles, also known as Hercules, made regular trips between Paris and Zurch. The Handley Page H.P 42 does not exist as there were only 8 in circulation and were beyond preservation. Recreate this giant improvement on air travel making it possible for commercial flights to evolve into the convenience of world travel we have today.
